Maharbiz, Chair A seamless, high density, chronic interface to the nervous system is essential to enable clinically relevant applications such as electroceuticals or brain-machine interfaces (BMI). Currently, a major hurdle in neurotechnology is the lack of an implantable neural interface system that remains viable for a patient's lifetime due to the development of biological response near the implant.

  • Perceiving Invisible Light Through a Somatosensory Cortical Prosthesis
    ARTICLE Received 24 Aug 2012 | Accepted 15 Jan 2013 | Published 12 Feb 2013 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms2497 Perceiving invisible light through a somatosensory cortical prosthesis Eric E. Thomson1,2, Rafael Carra1,w & Miguel A.L. Nicolelis1,2,3,4,5 Sensory neuroprostheses show great potential for alleviating major sensory deficits. It is not known, however, whether such devices can augment the subject’s normal perceptual range. Here we show that adult rats can learn to perceive otherwise invisible infrared light through a neuroprosthesis that couples the output of a head-mounted infrared sensor to their soma- tosensory cortex (S1) via intracortical microstimulation. Rats readily learn to use this new information source, and generate active exploratory strategies to discriminate among infrared signals in their environment. S1 neurons in these infrared-perceiving rats respond to both whisker deflection and intracortical microstimulation, suggesting that the infrared repre- sentation does not displace the original tactile representation. Hence, sensory cortical prostheses, in addition to restoring normal neurological functions, may serve to expand natural perceptual capabilities in mammals. 1 Department of Neurobiology, Duke University, Box 3209, 311 Research Drive, Bryan Research, Durham, North Carolina 27710, USA. 2 Edmond and Lily Safra International Institute for Neuroscience of Natal (ELS-IINN), Natal 01257050, Brazil. 3 Department of Biomedical Engineering, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27710, USA. 4 Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27710, USA. 5 Center for Neuroengineering, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27710, USA. w Present address: University of Sao Paulo School of Medicine, Sao Paulo 01246-000, Brazil.

  • Ed Carpenter, Artist [email protected] Commissions
    ED CARPENT ER 1 Ed Carpenter, Artist [email protected] Revision 2/1/21 Born: Los Angeles, California. 1946 Education: University of California, Santa Barbara 1965-6, Berkeley 1968-71 Ed Carpenter is an artist specializing in large-scale public installations ranging from architectural sculpture to infrastructure design. Since 1973 he has completed scores of projects for public, corporate, and ecclesiastical clients. Working internationally from his studio in Portland, Oregon, USA, Carpenter collaborates with a variety of expert consultants, sub-contractors, and studio assistants. He personally oversees every step of each commission, and installs them himself with a crew of long-time helpers, except in the case of the largest objects, such as bridges. While an interest in light has been fundamental to virtually all of Carpenter’s work, he also embraces commissions that require new approaches and skills. This openness has led to increasing variety in his commissions and a wide range of sites and materials. Recent projects include interior and exterior sculptures, bridges, towers, and gateways. His use of glass in new configurations, programmed artificial lighting, and unusual tension structures have broken new ground in architectural art. He is known as an eager and open-minded collaborator as well as technical innovator. Carpenter is grandson of a painter/sculptor, and step-son of an architect, in whose office he worked summers as a teenager. He studied architectural glass art under artists in England and Germany during the early 1970’s. Information on his projects and a video about his methods can be found at: http://www.edcarpenter.net/ Commissions Bridge And Exterior Public Commissions 2019: Barbara Walker Pedestrian Bridge, Wildwood Trail, Portland, OR, 180’ x 12’ x 8’.

  • Jonathan Lethem, Amnesia Moon the US Election This Week Has Sent Me
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Birkbeck Institutional Research Online Jonathan Lethem, Amnesia Moon The US election this week has sent me back to Jonathan Lethem’s second novel, the science fiction picaresque Amnesia Moon (1995). The novel depicts a dystopian near future in which a catastrophe has fragmented America into a series of communities that are worlds unto themselves. A character refers to the ‘FSRs’ – Finite Subjective Realities – in which people are locked into locally distorted perceptions. The one I was looking for was Vacaville, California, into which the protagonist Chaos stumbles. The town has a number of strange features. For one, the populace has to move house once a week, taking their few possessions with them. For another, they are governed by a system of ‘Luck’. The local government tests each citizen’s Luck and some are deemed unlucky, which becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Citizens also compete to make each other unluckier by writing out violations for each other’s behaviour. Third, government and media are peculiarly collusive. Joining the household of local resident Edie and her young sons, Chaos watches television with them: ‘“Test Your Luck!” was on, the afternoon game show hosted by President Kentman’. A game show – hosted by the President? Another programme is Moving Day: ‘Like today’, a boy explains, ‘when everybody has to move, except it’s about how all the government stars change houses’. ‘Government stars?’, wonders Chaos, like the reader. ‘Like movie stars’, Edie explains: ‘It’s not real.

  • Rewriting Universes: Post-Brexit Futures in Dave Hutchinson’S Fractured Europe Quartet
    humanities Article Rewriting Universes: Post-Brexit Futures in Dave Hutchinson’s Fractured Europe Quartet Hadas Elber-Aviram Department of English, The University of Notre Dame (USA) in England, London SW1Y 4HG, UK; [email protected] Abstract: Recent years have witnessed the emergence of a new strand of British fiction that grapples with the causes and consequences of the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union. Building on Kristian Shaw’s pioneering work in this new literary field, this article shifts the focus from literary fiction to science fiction. It analyzes Dave Hutchinson’s Fractured Europe quartet— comprised of Europe in Autumn (pub. 2014), Europe at Midnight (pub. 2015), Europe in Winter (pub. 2016) and Europe at Dawn (pub. 2018)—as a case study in British science fiction’s response to the recent nationalistic turn in the UK. This article draws on a bespoke interview with Hutchinson and frames its discussion within a range of theories and studies, especially the European hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer. It argues that the Fractured Europe quartet deploys science fiction topoi to interrogate and criticize the recent rise of English nationalism. It further contends that the Fractured Europe books respond to this nationalistic turn by setting forth an estranged vision of Europe and offering alternative modalities of European identity through the mediation of photography and the redemptive possibilities of cooking. Keywords: speculative fiction; science fiction; utopia; post-utopia; dystopia; Brexit; England; Europe; Dave Hutchinson; Fractured Europe quartet Citation: Elber-Aviram, Hadas. 2021.
